Guest HariSampath Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 You know....let's extend this logic...yes RD is getting very rare 50+ scores, and then goes on a 6 match failure trip. So we wonder whether we can rely on even a decent score now. Fair question. The thing is we cant, sadly.....BUT, if India finish 50-100 runs behind in 1st inngs, and are 55-3 in 2nd inngs, and Dravid, pulls us out of a total mess, and takes us to 270 overall lead with a superb series saving 140....THEN I will be the first person to accept he has more to offer for another series, but still I would prefer him to leave on a high if this happens too.

anbuchelvan Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I think Dravid will hang his shoes after this tests..He is in total mess right now. :two_thumbs_up::two_thumbs_up::two_thumbs_up::two_thumbs_up: Link to comment
Sachin_Rulez Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Terrific knock by Dravid!!! Keep it up:two_thumbs_up: Link to comment
Holysmoke Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 3 runs and a dropped catch. Might be one of Jammy's worst games. Link to comment
DomainK Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Jammy needs a break from Cricket. I would recommend a leave immediately and come back after the England series. Relax for a few days and then come back afresh. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 He will not be playing in odis. Have a bit of a break then in to FC cricket and pile on some runs and he will be tip top for england. FC cricket stint will get him back in to the grove like it did for sehwag and ganguly Link to comment
yoda Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Never thought a day would come when everyone in the team, I mean everyone (even tail enders) would perform better than RD. Seriously, it is time for him to retire. Link to comment
Cricketics Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 FC cricket stint will get him back in to the grove like it did for sehwag and ganguly :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: sehwag?? dude he faiiled miserably in FC..He doesn't like batting in Ranjji much.. he just like to score runs at the real stage.. the test cricket Link to comment
bharat297 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: sehwag?? dude he faiiled miserably in FC..He doesn't like batting in Ranjji much.. he just like to score runs at the real stage.. the test cricket I think what he meant was that after Sehwag returned to International cricket he has become better than ever. Ganguly too. Maybe Dravid needs a little break from cricket altogether. He can come back fresher and stronger. Link to comment
Sooda Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 There are guys who can come in and potentially contribute more than he is at the moment. No point in him going back to FC and trying to regain form, that will just hold back youngsters who might be good enough for India in the Long term. And with VS and SRT still around its not like the middle order will completely fall apart. Now is a good time, with two of his old buddies stepping down, after playing the best team in the world Link to comment

He played a lot of FC cricket whick clearly helped him and hence top run scorer in 2008 Link to comment
fineleg Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Ain't nothin more to say. If RD needs time at domestics cricket, he should use that opportunity to regain form. Link to comment
anbuchelvan Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Time for the shameless back stabber to hang his head and follow Greg to australia as a ball boy for their practice session.The spineless worm might have realised that god sees the truth but waits.Kumble and Ganguly retires keeping their head high.But Dravid will leave after getting dropped.

RD may have lost form, but he has been India's best Test batsman (some will say 'second' best) for the last decade. Just becos he is not in form now, you come up with this :haha: Link to comment
gs Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 RD please withdraw from the team. Either retire or go back to FC cricket. You are a waste of a test spot at the moment. Link to comment
fineleg Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 RD please withdraw from the team. Either retire or go back to FC cricket. You are a waste of a test spot at the moment. He'll go back to FC and come back into the team on merit of runs scored in FC. He has always been a merit-candidate, and he'll get back on the weight of runs. Link to comment
flamy Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 dudes, why did u jinx RD? Link to comment
fineleg Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 dudes' date=' why did u jinx RD?[/quote'] coz MM does not believe in jinx and now he jinxed Dravid! Link to comment
Ram Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 If people jovially accume me of jinxing people, I am genuinely sorry. :(( But, if you actually/really/truly believe in jinxing and all that superstitious horse-manure, then :finger: Where superstitions start, reason ends. Where reason ends, chaos and confusion reign supreme. P.S - Actually, I dont know why I typed the last line, but thought it kinda has a wise-man feel to it. So, please excuse me. :D Link to comment
bharat297 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I feel so sorry for Dravid ... Just his face when he dropped that catch off Sharma when Katich was in the 90s ... its like his world was falling apart. He looked so depressed. He needs some time away from the game. Time away from all this stress. Perhaps maybe a few months off will do him good. I would really hate to think that the last game that Rahul Dravid ever played was one where he scored 0, and 3 and dropped a catch. Dravid does not deserve this. Link to comment
